1.Budapest: 1-Hour Evening Sightseeing Cruise with Drink

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9,421 reviews · 1 hour · from $29Our pick

Budapest Danube evening cruise with a free drink and multilingual audio guide. See Chain Bridge, Parliament, and Buda Castle in 1 hour.

“The audio guide on the boat was good, we learnt lots about the history of Budapest. Thr arrival/waiting space was nice as it was indoors, lots of cruises have people lining up along the river bank. it's very popular so our boat was full, and when asked to board there was lots of pushing as people tousled to secure the best seats. the two young girls on the desks trying to scan tickets had a really tough time trying to ensure everyone had tickets due to the pushing. but otherwise the cruise itself was great!”

2.Budapest: 1-Hour Highlights Cruise with Welcome Drink

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,388 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $18.62

A 1-hour evening Danube highlights cruise in Budapest with a welcome drink, onboard Wi-Fi, and big views of Parliament from the water.

“It was a nice tour. We had very short time at each stop to enjoy the scenery and for photoshoot. We didn’t have time to visit the castle and churches. Our guide was very nice and friendly though. I only recommend people to join this tour if you have limited time in Budapest, then it is worth it, you get to see all the beautiful places. However, I think Budapest has a lot to offer and plan a 3 days trip would be better to learn the cultures and history.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) · from $32.44

Budapest BeerBus is an electric beer and sightseeing party bus with unlimited Hungarian draft beer, Bluetooth music, and top landmarks.

“We wanted to see Budapest city and we wanted to have some beers, so why not combine the two? We were waiting for another group of people who booked the same ride, but they didn't show up, so the two of us got a private drive around Budapest! Such a fun way to see the city, pouring beer and playing our own music over bluetooth. FYI there's an option to drink prosecco instead.”
